Private Data

Enter private data about the selected window. Private data is an annotation containing any character data that you can attach to an object. This annotation is only informational and not used by the code. The GUI Designer reads and writes private data as comments in the Run-time Attribute and AppBuilder Settings section of procedure files.

Characters

Select this option to write window size and position in character units. The GUI Designer writes the values entered in Column, Row, Width, and Height on the WINDOW Property Sheet in character units in the CREATE WIDGET statement.

Pixels

Select this option to express window size and position in pixel units. The GUI Designer writes the values entered in X, Y, Width Pixels, and Height Pixels in pixel units in the CREATE WIDGET statement.

Custom Lists

Select the custom list check box to add the window name to the selected custom list. For example, select the {&List-1} check box to add the window name to custom list &List-2.

One of six user-defined, alphabetical lists of space-delimited object names represented by the preprocessor names (&List-1, &List-2, &List-3,&List-4, &List-5, &List-6). You can use custom lists in ABL code whenever you need to represent object names, as in the following example:

ENABLE ALL EXCEPT {&LIST-1} WITH FRAME {&FRAME-NAME}.

HIDE {&LIST-2} WITH FRAME {&FRAME-NAME}

The GUI Designer adds an object name to a custom list whenever you activate one of the list toggles on the object's Advanced Property Sheet. Objects that are cut or deleted from a procedure file are automatically removed from the appropriate list.
